How to Use
Basic Operations
Transmission node information display area
Room information display area
Node ID display area
(Room information display area) .........................Displays the room User ID, DTMF ID and the number of activities (the number
of nodes connecting to the room)
[Refresh] ...............................................................Click to update the active room window list on the main screen.
[Close] ..................................................................Click to close the pop-up window.
(Node ID display area) ..........................................Lists the IDs of nodes connecting to the room. The node which is currently
transmitting displays in green. Move the cursor to a node title and right-click
on it to show the node information.
(Transmission node information display area) ......Displays information of a node or digital node which is currently transmitting.
Tip
Even after closing the pop-up window, as long as the node is connected to the room, the pop-up window can be displayed again by clicking “Connect ID
window” from the “View” menu.
●
Releasing the connection (disconnecting)
From the “Connect” menu, click “Disconnect”.
Tip
The connection can be released from the mobile or fixed station instead of controlling from the node PC menu. For details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the transceiver used as a mobile or fixed node.
●
Customizing the method to connect to a room
From the “File” menu of the WIRES-X software, select “Settings” - “Call settings” to set various settings to connect to a room. For
details, refer to page 80.
●
Announcing the status of the room your node is currently connecting to with a voice message
From the “File” menu of the WIRES-X software, select “Settings” - “General settings” to set whether or not to transmit the voice
message when a node comes in or leaves the room (only for an analog operation). For details, refer to page 81.
Notes on the node operation
• Please inform node station users connecting to your node to limit their QSO individual transmissions to less than three minutes in
duration. There is a 3-minute timer on the HRI-200 that will interrupt transmission if a continuous transmission by a node exceeds
this duration of time. Even during transmission, the timer will forcibly cut off transmission of the node in use causing the voice
communication to be interrupted.
• Please inform node station users that a longer than usual interval time is required between each QSO exchange. Because
the voice is repeated via an Internet connection, a time lag must occur. If you transmit a response too soon after another node
finished transmitting a message, your node may remain in transmission status.
